506 NATURAL HISTORY OF PLANTS. 
filaments 5-sulcate ; germens free, 2-5-ovulate ; ovules curved, in- 
serted at internal angle, 2-seriate ; funicle ascending or descending ; 
styles coalescing among themselves, free, thick, reflexed, stigma- 
tiferous at apex. Capsules 5 (or fewer), free, compressed, 2-valved ; 
endocarp chartaceous, separating from thin exocarp; seeds in each 
solitary or few, compressed, suborbicular, furnished with very thin 
suborbicular radiate striate concentric and veined marginal wing ; 
embryo scantily albuminous, curved; radicle terete, superior.— 
Small trees (not bitter) cinereo-pubescent; leaves alternate, 2- 
pinnate; folioles multijugate, glandular-punctuate ; flowers’ in 
large wide ramified compound cymiferous racemes, winged above 
(Brazil). 
102. Cneoridium Hook. r.A—Flowers hermaphrodite, 4-merous ; 
sepals short, imbricated. Petals much longer than calyx, imbri- 
cated. Stamens 8, inserted with perianth, 2-seriate; filaments free ; 
oppositipetalous 4 shorter, sometimes wanting; anthers suborbi- 
culate, introrsely 2-rimose. Gynæceum inserted at summit of 
receptacle, produced beyond insertion of perianth and stamens in 
short thick 8-agonal column; germen of solitary subexcentric carpel 
l-locular; style gynobasic, inserted slightly above the base of 
germen, stigmatiferous at apex; ovules 2, collaterally inserted 
slightly above base of cell, ascending ; raphe dorsal. Drupe globose, 
pisiform, coriaceous ; seed 1, ascendant; testa subcrustaceous ; em- 
bryo exalbuminous; cotyledons thick, plano-convex.—A glabrous 
shrub; sap bitter, subacrid; leaves opposite or subverticillate, 
simple, linear, entire, coriaceous, subfleshy, glandular-punctulate, 
glandular at margin, exstipulate ; flowers axillary, usually solitary ; 
peduncle 2-bracteolate* ( California’). 
103. Cadellia F. Muruu.’—Flowers 5-merous (more rarely 6, 7- 
merous); sepals imbricated. Petals larger alternate, imbricated. 
Stamens 10, 2-seriate, hypogynous ; filaments free, subulate ; 
anthers introrse, 2-rimose. Carpels 1 or 5, free, oppositipetalous,
